Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war.
Revelation 19:11
Lord Jesus, there are lyrics ringing loudly in my heart and soul today: “I want to see the blessed face of Him Who died for me; sacrificed His life for my liberty.” Indeed, I want to see You today! Not because I want to escape the burdensome toils of life. Not because I want to experience the expansive and glorious provisions of Heaven. No. It is not because I want to have a better life. It is because I just want to hold and hug You, fall down at Your feet and worship You! It is because I love You so very much and want so desperately to be in Your presence. My soul longs for the opportunity to audibly hear the wonderful intonations of Your voice, to see first hand what You look like – the color of Your hair, the complexion of Your skin, the beauty of Your person. I just want to see You! How and when it will happen I do not know. But You said You are coming soon. And my soul resonates with John declaring, “Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!” (Revelation 22:20)
In the meantime, please continue to fill my heart with joy and laughter. Open my eyes to Your fingerprints in the lives of those around me. Continue Your masterful work in me, molding me into the person You have created me to be. Open my ears to hear You speak to me. And hold my hand and walk with me, nurturing my fragile soul. Lord, I love You so very much! Help me to spend more and more of this day conscious of being in Your presence until that glorious day when I will see You face-to-face. I so look forward to it! Thank You Jesus! Amen!
